The south side of the Käferberg is a popular retreat in Zurich. Cornflowers, meadow sage and scabious bloom on the sparse meadows, while sand lizards find shelter among the plants. Allotment gardens have shaped the landscape here for many years, especially on the sunny slopes in the south. From here you have a fantastic panorama of the city.
